Not much shorter....mine has much more capability and usable space though!so how big is a cyber-junk compaired to a 400 crew cab long bed
That 400 will turn my eye faster then that trapezoid next to it....Mine is not the dumpster, it just looks really cool next to it!
We had a 2004 Chrysler and a 2006 GMC, both bought used in 2013, that were "supposed" to be the daily drivers. Both vehicles did that job, but not without frequent servicing. They both quit, and the ol Burb just kept going. Now the ol crew cab does likewise.I'm so glad I dumped my '17 Ram when I did. I have 4 different friends that either have their 1-3yr old truck torn way apart for something stupid or it's at the dealer every other month. Same with our '23 Ram 3500 dually at work, it's been at the dealer constantly the last 3-4 months. My 40yr old C10 and my 20yr old daily just keep plugging along
Dang, hate to hear that '06 GMC was high maintenance. My current '05 is my 8th of that generation truck, they've all been fantastic and other than things I inflicted on them, required nothing more than regular maintenance.We had a 2004 Chrysler and a 2006 GMC, both bought used in 2013, that were "supposed" to be the daily drivers.

Only way I'd have something way newer again, is if it got great mileage, we could all fit in it, and it had a warranty on it (so somebody else fixes it!).
That makes me miss my ol war wagon! This is her sad state or affairs currently but it used to have 33x12.50 federal muds on 10" chrome wagons. I used to mud hole the hell outta that burb!Hearing of the issues of the newer type cars and stuff, I am happy we have kept this battle wagon around to be our champion all these years.
We bought it 21 years ago about this time as Max was a 13 month old and we wanted a better vehicle that was a better family machine than the 1st one of the squarebodys I have owned.
From the car lot downtown with only 108,000 miles on it.

This is what i was balancing with my recent 2000 4runner purchase. New enough to cruise reliably and in comfort. Old enough that it's easy to work on.I'm so glad I dumped my '17 Ram when I did.

I Krown my 1990 burb every fall. $150 per year is cheap if it keeps it from rusting.The sad part is where I live, you can't drive a Burb year-round for 21 years and still have much body remaining.
Our '88 was downright solid when we bought it in early '06. 10 years later, it really wasn't roadworthy. In '16 we bought a very nice '00 Burb and now, it's nearly as rusted as our '88.
